System Summary

Odorgon is a water based formulation that is applied in confined animal feeding operations through a high pressure mist system. Odorgon is sprayed on an automated timer basis from the ceilings through high pressure nylon lines and nozzles to neutralize malodors.

Applicability and Mitigating Mechanism

Unique class of cationic surfactants

Atomized solution sprayed at 600 psi

Buffer resulting in non volatile organic salts

Greatly reduces ammonia & hydrogen sulfide

Creates better environment for animals to thrive in resulting in lower mortality, less culls and less days to finish.

Better conditions for workers/employees

Mitigates neighbor/social issues

Limitations

Water based, subject to freezing

Summer use may be curtailed in

open buildings during windy conditions

Cost

Equipment cost for a 42 by 200 foot finishing building with all components installed is approximately $4900. Annual usage for this facility would average $2100 of Odorgon concentrate or .73 per animal unit but could vary with region/climate. Nursery cost for swine is .19 per animal unit. Odorgon is mixed with water at a rate of 50 parts water to 1 part concentrate resulting in a cost of $1.50 per gallon diluted. Cost also varies based on building dimensions and desired results.
